Surprising comments from this Portugal international on Ligue 1! | OneFootball

Danilo Pereira, a 34-year-old midfielder/defender from Al-Ittihad and Portugal, who notably played for Paris Saint-Germain (2020-2024), spoke to the media outlet Onze Mondial. When discussing the league that surprised him the most, he mentioned Ligue 1.

Danilo "each passing season proves the opposite."

While some "specialists" and fans often like to belittle Ligue 1, we see that many players who have been through French football rather highlight its quality. We also see players who are admired in France once they play abroad, even though they have passed through Ligue 1. Perhaps we should learn to appreciate it a bit more and stop "fantasizing" about foreign leagues, setting aside matches that are ultimately not so thrilling in other championships.

In any case, even though we can note that Danilo hasn't really experienced the other major European leagues, a player who has known Ligue 1 and the Portuguese national team can recognize the high level he has encountered.
